So, the best use for the list below is as a starting point, for your
own creative juices. Of course, you can use them 'as is' and get some
great results too.
Let's get into these baby shower game ideas.
Balloon sound n fury:
Choose lots of baby names in advance. Write each name on a small slip
of paper, and insert the paper into balloons after partially blowing
them up. Once the paper is inserted, fully inflate the balloons. At the
event, give the list to the mom-to-be and ask her to choose her
favorite name. The fun part of this baby shower game idea is that the
guests have to find the ONE balloon which has the chosen name in it! To
do this, they've to sit on each balloon, explode it and check the name.
Each guest can be allowed to bust two or three balloons, depending on
the ratio between guests and balloons! This can be one of those real
fun party activities.
The fastest one:
There are some good baby shower game ideas for co-ed parties. Here's
one. Fill small baby bottles with water or fruit juice, soft drink etc.
Put the same quantity into each. Each guy has to grab a bottle and
empty it in the least possible time! Use a stopwatch to time each guy.
The fastest one wins! Party activities like this can be real fun,
especially if you mention beforehand that the winner will get a neat
prize (name something the guys would enjoy).
Bringing up baby:
There are baby shower game ideas that continue to be quite hilarious,
despite people having played the game before. This is one of those good
party activities. Have 3" X 5" cards available. Ask each guest to write
out a question related to baby problems. For example: 'What do you do
when the little one wakes up at 4:00 am and starts crying?', 'What do
you do when baby has an upset stomach?', etc. Collect all the cards
with questions, shuffle them well. Then hand out one card to each
guest. Now ask them to write down the answer to their original
question, without looking at the question that's actually on the back
of the card! Finally, read out the questions and answers on each card!
This always gets plenty of laughs!
Hot potato?
Here's
another great baby shower game idea. Choose a jar and a fairly large
potato such that the potato can barely get into the jar. Place the jar
in the center of the room. Have each guest stand at one end of the
room, place the potato between her/his knees, walk to the jar carrying
the potato between her knees. Once she reaches the jar, she is to try
to drop the potato into the jar - without using her hands in any way.
This one's great for all round fun!
What was said then?
This one's great provided the mom-to-be doesn't take offense! Here's
how to play. While mother-to-be is opening gifts, have someone
discreetly take notes of what she says when she opens each gift. Then,
when the gift opening is over, announce that everything she said during
gift opening was what the mother-to-be also said during the night the
baby was conceived! This can get really funny - an innocent statement
like, 'wow, how lovely' can take on all kinds of new meanings!
